The small village or rancheria beyond this panel was never a real village. It was constructed in 1985 as a set for the border-western comedy "Uphill All The Way" starring Roy Clark, Mel Tillis and Burl Ives.

It is hard to believe that Mexico is just across the river beyond this panel! The vibrant culture of this borderlands region spans the river and has long inspired both artists and filmakers.

Not part of the movie set were the Restrooms provided by the state park. :)
